Locked behind the Iron Curtain, a young boy grows up bewitched by
his French grandmother's memories of Paris before the Great War.
Yet despite what he also learns of her suffering in the Soviet
Union under Stalin and during the Second World War, as an
adolescent he finds himself proud to be a Russian. Torn between the
two cultures, he eventually makes a choice - which has a wholly
unexpected outcome. Capturing the powerful allure of illusion, this
unforgettable novel traces a sentimental and intellectual journey
that embraces the dramatic history of the twentieth century.
